MOBILE, Alabama - Police arrested Harold Dortch, 43, Wednesday and charged him with two counts of first-degree robbery in connection to two incidents earlier in the day, including robbing his former employer.

At roughly 6:30 a.m., a man entered the Shell Station at 3000 Dauphin Street, indicated he had a gun and a bomb, and demanded cash. The cashier complied and the man fled the scene, according to police.

Approximately three hours later, Dortch - a former employee of the Waffle House at 3030 Airport Boulevard - walked into the establishment and asked for his final paycheck.

Dortch then demanded money from the cash register and said he had a gun before leaving the scene.

A Mobile police investigation revealed Dortch was responsible for the earlier robbery and he was apprehended at French Quarter Apartment without incident.
